In the years preceding 1929, the stock market rose, seemingly without limits, to usher a "New Era" of prosperity-one where it was widely believed that in America, everyone could become rich. Yet in reality, only the rich were becoming richer. As told by the descendants of the financial "folk heroes" of the economic boom of early 1920s, The Crash of 1929, from the PBS American Experience collection, captures the optimism of the age- a time where the stock market epitomized the false promise of permanent prosperity

The power of the photographic image remains undiminished in the latter part of the 20th century, even though it faces new challenges from television, technology, motion pictures, and elsewhere. Photography Transformed examines surveillance photography and the Cuban Missile crisis, searing images from the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights violence-while highlighting the transformation to the new era of image-driven celebrity, presidential "image politics," and the challenge to achieve photographic truth when computers have the ability to alter photography without detection. The film presents a message that is very clear: despite new technologies, still images-whether captured on film or as electrons-will endure

The revolutionary idea that power should flow upward from the people instead of downward from a king heralded the birth of modern politics
